PREFACE. 

(THE SYSTEM) The Vowels that have been such a great hindrance 
in the other systems, and have confused even bright students, are by this 
system entirely omitted in all but a very few words, and still indicated as 
clearly as daylight, by the positions herein used, making these positions 
a guide of great value in both writing and reading the shorthand. By 
using only the Vowel-Key as a guide, students begin position work at 
once, instead of using a mass of vowel-marks. 

The STEIN vowel-key is the greatest advance ever made in short- 
hand. Its value consists in its wonderful simplicity and easy application, 
which makes it such a helpful feature that it reduces the Stenographer's 
mental strain by at least one-half. STEIN shorthand is a simplification 
of Pitman shorthand. The strokes remain the same except thick N which 
is now used for both NG and NK. The Circle and Hook rules remain the 
same except that all L hooks are large, allowing the principle of the large 
L hook on N and M to become a uniform rule on all strokes, and thereby 
placing the R hook on the same side as the L hook, making only a differ- 
ence of size, which is more apparent to the eye, while the old method of 
swinging the stroke around was always confusing. 

STEIN shorthand is not only a little ahead of all other systems — it 
is MILES ahead of them. The difference is, as between DAY and NIGHT. 

(THE BOOK) The book presents not only a far superior system, but 
in the method of presenting the different principles it is also the most 
pedagogical textbook on Shorthand. It covers a series of 151 lessons and 
38 Reviews (one review after every set of four lessons), making a total 
of 189 lessons. 

(TIME TO COMPLETE book) At one lesson a day, and counting 
20 school days to a month, this book can be completed in 9 Ms months. At 
two lessons a day, it can be completed in 4% months. 

(SPEED WORK) This book should be followed by about 190 les- 
sons of Letter and Miscellaneous Dictation for obtaining the proper prac- 
tice to write shorthand as easy and as flowing as longhand, that is, with- 
out mental strain. 

(LENGTH of SHORTHAND COURSE) At ONE lesson a day, in 
a High School, the shorthand course should never take less than two 
years, to make High-Grade Stenographers in a day-class. At TWO les- 
sons a day, it should not take less than 9% months. 

In an Evening Class, at only three lessons a week, a student might 
possibly do easy stenographic work at the end of two years, but it should 
take three or four years to be equal to a day-school graduate.

LESSON 1. (STRAIGHT STROKES) 

(STROKES) Copy the 8 shorthand Strokes given in Line No. 5, on 
Page 5, and put letters under them, in this order: k, g, p, b, t, d, ch, j. 
Make the light strokes very light, and make the heavy strokes by a 
single motion of the pencil; not by going over them again to make them 
heavy. 

T and D must be exactly vertical, like the side edge of the note- 
book. The length of T must equal HALF the distance between the 
writing lines, and all other strokes must have the same length as T. 

P and B lean like the diagonal of a square. They do not reach up 
to the dotted line. 

CH and J lean the other way. 

P, b, t, d, ch, j, are called Down-Strokes. 

K and G are level; K is thin, and G is thick. Write them very close 
to the line, but not IN the line, so that they can be seen distinctly. The 
other strokes must TOUCH the line. 

(PENCIL) Use a Soft pencil, and hold it VERY short. Form the 
correct habit at the beginning. 

(NOTEBOOK) Do not write on the backs of the leaves in the note- 
book until you are once through it. Then you turn the book over and 
use the backs. 

(ERASER) Do not have an eraser, and do not use a rubber-tipped 
pencil when writing shorthand. Do no erasing, or it will become a great 
hindrance in your shorthand. 

(LONGHAND) The spelling that you knew before you began this 
lesson we call longhand, to distinguish it from shorthand. 

Draw the 8 strokes, and also the dotted line, 7 times, with the letters 
under them, and memorize them. They must be recited, forward and 
backward, in less than a quarter of a minute. 



LESSON 2. (Practice on the Straight Strokes.) 

In your notebook write only the longhand letters for the shorthand 
strokes of Lesson 2, as given on page 3. Then, from the teacher's dicta- 
tion, write the shorthand strokes on a separate paper laid on the CLOSED 
notebook. Part of the class must write on the board. Then those who 
were at the board will write on paper while the others do it on the 
board. Then read from the board; also from the papers. Reading must 
be practiced as much as writing. 

After the papers are collected and the blackboard erased, write the 
same strokes in the notebook, without dictation, from your longhand 
letters. Then turn again into longhand 3 times, and study. 

(HOMEWORK) For homework, do the same as often as at school, 
and with the greatest accuracy. 

LESSON 3. (Positions for K and G.) 

(RULE) 1st position of K and G is midway between the lines. 
2nd position of K and G is very close to the line. 
3rd position of K and G is just below the line. 
WORDS beginning with K or G. 

1. catch(k-ch), cage(k-j), gay(g), gate(g-t), cab(k-b), cake(k-k). 

2. key(k), keep, kite, guide, keg, kick(k-k). 

3. copy(k-p), cup, coat, go, goat. 

DIRECTIONS. 

First memorize and recite the Rule; then study the Explanation very 
thoroughly and make ONE copy of the shorthand, lines 1 to 3, on the 
opposite page. Spell this copy several times through. Also READ sev- 
eral times through, forward and backward. Each lesson must be read 
correctly. 

Then write each word once in longhand with 3 times in shorthand, 
like the "Model" given, and 3 times through without longhand, making 
a total of 7 times in shorthand for each word. Also from dictation. 
When the pencil gets dull, turn it a little in the fingers to get a new 
edge for writing. 

EXPLANATION. 

(VOWELS) 1st position adds the vowel A to the stroke; 2nd posi- 
tion adds either E or I; 3rd position adds either O or U. The vowels 
are a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes w and y. All other letters are called 
consonants. 

(FIRST STROKE) Only the first stroke of a word can add a vowel 
by position. If a word has more vowels, they must be guessed for the 
present. In sentences the word can easily be read this way. 

(SOUNDS) Shorthand strokes must stand for the real sounds of 
the consonants in a word. These sounds are often different from the 
longhand consonants. All silent letters must be omitted. 

Y, as in copy, is a vowel, but only the vowel can be indicated by 
the position of this word. The little dash, in the shorthand, that points 
to the middle of the second stroke of this word, stands for the vowel 
sound E, here used for Y at the end of the word. This little dash is called 
a vowel-mark, and it must point to the MIDDLE of the stroke when it 
stands for E. Use it only in the first copy of the shorthand; then omit it.

LESSON 4. (MIXED POSITIONS.) 

1. cake, kick, gay, go, cage, guide. 

2. gate, goat, cab, keep, copy, cup. 

3. catch, key, keg, kite, coat. 

EXPLANATION. 

Hereafter, in each lesson, make one copy of the shorthand, and 
study the Explanation thoroughly; then spell, read and write like Lesson 
3; that is, 3 times each word with longhand, then 3 times through with- 
out longhand, a total of 7 times, and then study it again. 

Make the double-length strokes like Cake, Keg and Kick just a little 
longer than two single strokes, so that they will not be mistaken for 
single strokes made too long. 

Also copy lines 4, 5, 6 accurately with dotted lines 7 times. 

Then review Lesson 3. 

LESSON 5. (Positions for P, B, T, D, CH, J.) 

(RULE for P, B, T, D, CH, J) 

1st position is midway between the lines. 
2nd position is on the line. 
3rd position is half below the line. 
(RULE for VOWELS) 
1st position adds A. 
2nd position adds E or I. 
3rd position adds O or U. 

WORDS beginning with P or B. 

1. pay, patch (p-ch), page (p-j), paid, pack, package (p-k-j), bag, bag- 
gage(b-g-j), back. 

2. be, by, buy, peach, beat, bite, beg, big, pick. 

3. botch, boat, boot, body, poke, book. 

EXPLANATION. 
AY as in pay, and AI as in paid, have only the sound of the vowel A« 
TCH as in catch, patch, botch, has only the sound of the stroke CH. 
CK as in pack, package, back, pick, has only the sound of one K. 
Double G, in baggage, has only the sound of one G. 
G in page and package, and the last G in baggage, have the sound 

of J. 

Y in by and buy has the sound of the vowel I, and the U in buy is 
silent. Therefore, buy must have 2nd position. The vowel mark, on this 
word,' stands for the sound of I as in bite; it has the shape of a small V, 
and must be narrow, and even at the top. 

EA in beat, has the sound of E as in keep. 

OA in boat, has the sound of as in go. 

Write the vowel-marks only when making the first copy of the 

shorthand. ,.,,,, 

(DIRECTIONS) Recite the rules. Copy, study, and write a total 
of 7 times like the last lesson; then review Lessons 3, 4, 5. 

(TIME) Always time yourself in both reading and writing short- 
hand, but do not make careless and inaccurate work. 
LESSON 5A. (REVIEW) 
Do Lessons 1 to 5, once without longhand, and read.

LESSON 6. (WORDS beginning with T, D, CH, J) 

1. take tack day Dakota tab tap tag chap jack. 

2. tie tied tight (t-t) type deep die died cheap check. 

3. took tug top topic tub tobacco do judge (j-j) job joke. 

TEST. 

4. day do take took tag tug cheap job. (8) 

5. Dakota paid package body cap copy beat boat. (8) 

6. jack joke gate goat cage catch tobacco topic. (8) 

7. keep kick key check beg big guide keg. (8) -32. 

EXPLANATION. 

Rule for positions in this Lesson is the same as for P and B. 

In Dakota we only indicate the first vowel. 

GH in tight is silent. 

Y in type has the sound of I. 

In topic and tobacco only one vowel is to be indicated. 

Double C in tobacco must be written as one K. 

DG as in judge has the sound of J. 

Make double length strokes, as in tide, tight, died and judge, extra 
long. 

(PAIRS) These strokes are arranged in pairs of similar sounds. 
Each thin stroke represents a Blowing Sound, and each thick stroke 
represents a Buzzing Sound. 

Recite the two Rules of Lesson 5 again. 

LESSON 7. (EXERCISE) 

1. Take tag. Keep tag. Keep book. Keep copy. 

2. Keep package. Take package. Tie package. Check package. 

3. Check baggage. Take top. Take copy. Take cap. 

4. Big package. Big page. Big coat. Big day. 

5. Take big book. Take big tag. Take big page. 

6. Keep big book. Keep big package. Keep big coat. 

EXPLANATION. 

(PERIOD) A double-length CH, from line to line, is used for a 
shorthand period. 

Make one copy of the shorthand; then write each sentence 3 times 
with the longhand and 3 times through without the longhand. Then 
study again. 

(FALSE MOTIONS) When you have finished a shorthand word, 
keep the pencil close to the paper where the next word is to be written. 
Also do not put your hand in motion between words. 

Lifting your hand, and putting it in motion between words, are called 
False Motions, which cause loss of time, and interfere with speed later on. 

(THE EXPLANATIONS) Do not pass the Explanations over 
lightly. It has taken the author 15 years to compose and arrange them 
for your benefit, and they are all very important, so do not pass over 
them carelessly.

LESSON 8. (REVIEW) 

1. do die day deep take took tip top. (8) 

2. tub tab big bag go gay keep cap. (8) 

3. book back tug tag big package jack joke. (8) 

4. coat gate judge Jacob page patch cheap job. (8) 

5. bay batch pay cake paid cage catch cab. (8) 

6. pack tobacco check baggage tie type deed died. (8) -48 

EXPLANATION. 

Corrections must be written 6 times with longhand. Also drilled on 
the board. You are to make up the shorthand for this lesson. For the 
word Jacob write j-k-b. 

(OTHER WORDS) Do not ask the teacher about words that are not 
in the lesson, until you have learned most of the Rules, and how to 
distinguish some words that have the same consonants, but must have 
different forms. 

LESSON 9. (R) 

(RULE) 1st, Use High-slant R in most words. 

2nd, Use Medium-slant R when joined to Ch or J. 
3rd, Use Low-slant R when not joined to other strokes. 
(High-slant R) 

1. rag rug wrap rope write wrote. 

2. red road rate territory dear door. 

3. carry cure pair pure purer purity. 

4. battery wrapper rubber parade period. 

(Medium-slant R) 

5. chair jar arch rage reach rich urge. 

(Low- slant R) 

6. are air ear or our. 

EXPLANATION. 

R is a thin up-stroke. When joined to other strokes, we can see that 
it was written upwards, and thus tell it from CH, but when it stands by 
itself, we must make it a very different slant than CH, so that we can 
tell it from CH by the different slant. 

R has three different slants: High-slant, Medium-slant and Low-slant. 

The direction of High-slant is like the diagonal of a square, and the 
direction of Low-slant is nearly level like K. 

(SILENT LETTERS) W is silent in wrap, write, wrote, and must 
therefore be omitted in shorthand. 

(DOUBLE LETTERS) Double letters, like rr in carry, pp in wrap- 
per, bb in rubber, etc. always sound like a single letter when there is no 
vowel between them, and must be written in shorthand as a single sound. 

Line 3, the vowel-mark on "pure" stands for the sound of U in this 
word, and has the shape of a capital U turned upside down. 

Copy the Diagrams 6 times before copying the shorthand for the 
words. 

(BE TRUSTWORTHY) After you graduate, you expect to be em- 
ployed. Of course you want to be an employee that can be trusted, not 
one that must be watched. The employee that must be watched, will soon 
be out of a job. You can not be trusted in an office, unless you form the 
habit now, and show that your teacher can trust you, and that you do 
not need to be watched.

1. Read or write. Cheap or dear. Rope or rubber. (9) 

2. Take red rubber. Take pure rubber. Take red top. (9) 

3. Keep pure rubber. Keep red rubber. Pay big rate. (9) 

4. Red chair. Red jar. Rich territory. Big territory. (8)

8. battery territory pure pair judge job. (6) 

9. rag rug wrapper rubber purity topic. (6) 
10. dear cheap tied tight top tip. (6) -30 

EXPLANATION. 
(ACCURACY) Make each shorthand word better than the one 
before it, so that the last is the BEST, and not the worst. Writing short- 
hand accurately makes the new lessons easier as you go on. 

LESSON 11. (CIRCLE S) 

(RULE) Place circle on the upper side of k g; on the right side of 
p b t d ch j; on the left side of r. 

1. case gas guess pass base days does chase chcose raise rise. 

2. takes tags because bags cask rags rugs upstairs capacity. 

3. keeps copies tops tubs wraps ropes beside besides deposit. 

4. rates roads beats deeds disturb decide outside Tuesday pages. 

5. patches packages reaches arches urges carries chairs jars. 

6. razor resource risk reside restore receipt receipts pursuit. 

EXPLANATION. 

A small circle is used for the sound of S as in case, race, base, pass, 
etc. It must be perfectly round when placed at the end of a word. It 
must be placed according to the Rule. And you must avoid BENDING 
a straight stroke on which you put it. 

To avoid bending the stroke, a stop is made at the end of the stroke, 
before making the circle. 

Spell by Consonants: case(k-s), race(r-s), pass(p-s), pages(p-j-s), 
patches (p-ch-s), urges(r-j-s), receipt (r-s-t), capacity (k-p-s-t), resource 
(r-s-r-s). 

U is silent in guess. P is silent in receipt. 

(TESTING FIRST POSITION) To test a stroke in First Position, 
draw a Roman figure II, reaching from the top of the stroke to the line 
above, and another figure II reaching from the bottom of the stroke to 
the line below the stroke. Then, if both of these figures are alike in 
height, the stroke is correctly midway between the lines. 

Copy all the diagrams and explanation on them, 7 times, before 
beginning the words.

EXPLANATION. 

Write once without longhand; 3 times with longhand; 3 times through 
without longhand; and study. You are to make up the shorthand for 
this and the next lesson. 

Also copy, 7 times, the diagrams, curved strokes, and letters, given 
for this lesson. 

CURVED strokes are quarters of a large circle. 

THICK M is used for MP as in camp, and MB as in tumble. 

THICK N is used for NK as in bank, and NG as in ring. 

Two strokes are given for TH and also for S, because each has a 
blowing sound and a buzzing sound. 

Recite the new strokes forward and backward.

8. readers ropes routes doors rise rose. (6) 

9. receipt receipts decide beside cask risk. (6) -54 

EXPLANATION. 

Write 7 times like the last lesson, and study. 

Also the diagrams and curved strokes given for this lesson, 7 times. 

V is a buzzing F. 

There are 2 sounds of SH: blowing and buzzing. 

The strokes for Y and W are used only at the beginning of words 
or syllables, as in yes yellow yoke, week wire watch. 

One curved stroke is for R, but it is not used as much as straight 
R, and the reasons, for using it, will be given in a separate lesson. 

Recite the new strokes forward and backward. 

(SUCCESS) Shorthand and typewriting are wonderful inventions. 
In shorthand you write so little, and yet it means so much. Careful, 
steady, and accurate practice will lead you to success in both.

1. may make match matches mature maturity me my. 
\ 2. came game damage damages redeem time impose emboss. 

3. (THICK M) camp damp empty pump bump jump. 

4. (CIRCLE on M) mass mess miss games redeems times. 

5. camps pumps bumps jumps. 

6. mistake mystery message moisture Missouri Messrs. 

EXPLANATION. 

The thin curved stroke in this lesson is M. A thick M is used for MP 
as in camp, and MB as in tumble. 

The end of M must be on the same level as the beginning. In 2nd 
position, the ends of the stroke touch the line, and in 3rd position the 
middle touches the line. Do not bend one end more than the other, and 
do not make a curved stroke look like a hook. 

The Rule for Circles on straight strokes, as given in Lesson 11, can 
not be used for curved strokes. On M, the circle must be placed on the 
lower side, because the lower side is the inside of this curve. 

To read a vowel-mark "after" M, it must be placed "under" the 
stroke. 

T in mature, maturity, and moisture, has the sound of CH. 

Each lesson must be studied well, practiced well, and reviewed often. 
All are so important that nothing can be skipped. Before each of these 
lessons: 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, etc., a review must be made as directed.

EXPLANATION. 

Make no corner in inner, name, many, money, and bank. 

T in nature, has the sound of CH. 

K is silent in know. W is silent in answer, and in wrong. 

Business (biznes) must be in 2nd position. 

G is silent in unsigned, resign, design. Vowel on upper side means 
"before" N. 

Thick N is used for NK as in rank, and for NG as in rang, but not 
in range (r-n-j). 

(VOWEL-MARKS) On each side of a stroke there are 3 places for 
vowel -marks, the beginning of the stroke, the middle, and the end; called 
No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3. As the same thin dash is used for long A, long 
E, and Long O, it must be correctly placed. The dash for A must point 
exactly to the beginning of the stroke, but crosswise. The dash for E 
must point to the middle of the stroke. And the dash for O must point 
to the end of the stroke. 

Line 5, in the words NO and KNOW, the vowel must be at No. 3 
place, which is at the end of the stroke.

4. low lose look locate logs luggage. 

5. lump loop load loads lodge lodges logic. 

6. mail moldy kill cool ugly tumble. j 

7. pale bales bells belong below pile. 

EXPLANATION. 

Every L, in this lesson, begins at the bottom, and must be written 
as a curved up-stroke. 

It must end exactly level at the top, and not be curved downward 
again after the level part. 

For AW as in LAW, a heavy vowel-mark must be used to distinguish 
the sound of A in law and all, from the sound of A in lay and lace. 

Use thick M in lamp, limp, lump. 

Use thick N in link. 

GG in luggage, sound only as one G (1-g-j). 

Omit D in lodge (1-j). 

Use thick M in tumble, for MB.

3. follow future feature physical laugh life. 

4. unsafe inferior knife deface Pacific refuse refuge. 

5. value values various variety voyage visit visibly vice vacate. 

6. move investor reveal revenue receive reserve deceive advise advice. 

EXPLANATION. 

F and V must end level. V is a buzzing F. The test line for F and 
V is diagonal. Make no corner when F or V is followed by K. 

Do not omit K in effect, affect, factory, vacate. 

PH always has the sound of F, as in physical. 

Place advise in 1st position, by the vowel A, although it is not ac- 
cented, because the vowel I does not belong to D, the first stroke. 

Advise is a verb. Advice is a noun.

2. shape sheep ship shop sham shame. 

3. shake Chicago shock shook sugar shank shave. 

4. cash mash rash rush dish push. 

5. anxious cautious delicious tissue perish polish foolish usual un- 
usual. 

EXPLANATION. 

SH ends level. The dotted test lines will show whether your strokes 
are correct. 

Make no corner in mash, dish, and tissue, nor between L and SH 
in delicious, polish, and foolish. 

CH in Chicago, and S in sugar, have the sound of SH. 

SS in tissue, TI in cautious, and CI in delicious, also have the sound 
of SH. 

(VOWEL-MARKS) The vowel-mark for SHOE is a heavy dash at 
No. 3, and stands for the sound of double as in boot. AU, in cautious, 
has the same sound as AW in law. In TISSUE, the vowel is laid over 
on its side, and joined, to save time.

LESSON 22. (STROKE S) 

| (RULE) Use stroke S as follows: lst;For words having no other 
stroke. 2nd; To show when a word begins with a vowel sound before S. 
3rd;To show when a word ends with a vowel sound after S. 4th;Special, 
to distinguish certain words. 

1. say says saw sea see sees so sew sue ease easy use uses. 

2. ask acid asbestos escape Esther essence easier easily Isabella 
Israel Isaac. , 

3. also lessee policy fussy juicy pursue ensue lazy busy busier rosy 
cozy noisy. 

4. case cause, cases causes, gas gauze, pass pause, passes pauses. 

5. less lessee, poles policy, fuss fussy, juice juicy, rose rosy, noise 
noisy. 

EXPLANATION. 

There are 2 sounds of S: blowing S as in also, lessee, policy; and 
buzzing S as in lazy, busy, rosy, easy. 

Z is therefore a buzzing S. 

When circle S is used, it can stand either for the blowing or the 
buzzing sound. But when stroke S is used, we must show by the thick- 
ness whether it is blowing or buzzing. The thin stroke stands for blowing 
S, and the thick stroke stands for buzzing S. 

Busy (pronounced bizzy) takes 2nd position. Lessee' means one to 
whom a property is leased. A lease is a written agreement for renting! 

Silent letters do not count in shorthand. Therefore the silent E at 
the end of case, raise, rise, etc., does not class these words as ending with 
a vowel. 

Lines 4 and 5 show when the circle or the stroke must be used. The 
large circle in "cases" means two S sounds; as in Lesson 30. 

After writing 3 times with longhand, write the lessons 22, 23, 24, 25, 
six times through, instead of only 3 times, because these lessons must be 
specially drilled. And also 6 times for Homework. 

LESSON 23. (TH) 

1. (BLOWING TH)thick thickness thickly thief theory thorough 
thoroughness thoroughly. 

2. depth path bath both berth earth beneath faith teeth tooth. 

3. (BUZZING TH) these this those they though although. 

4. either other gather feather leather bother. 

EXPLANATION. 

There are 2 sounds of TH. The thin stroke stands for blowing TH 
as in lines 1 and 2. The thick stroke stands for buzzing TH as in lines 
3 and 4. (All buzzing consonants are represented by thick strokes.) 

GH is silent in thorough (thoro), and though(tho). 

Depth (d-p-th) , berth (b-r-th) . 

Line 3, always put the word THESE in 1st position to distinguish it 
from the word THIS. 

Put THEY in 2nd position, for special reason shown later. Mem- 
orize the words in line 3, as a guide for thick TH. 

Line 4, in EITHER, the vowel is before the stroke (on the left). 

Copy the dotted test lines until you get the strokes accurately ver- 
tical.

LESSON 24. (CURVED R) 

(RULE) Use curved R; 1st, before M; 2nd, after L; 3rd, after F ii 
the same syllable; and 4th, specially in poor, early, coarse, etc. 

1. room ream rim arm resume remove remedy resemble. 

2. failure familiar peculiar cooler lower poplar boiler. 

3. unfair enforce force fork fur fear fire far farm fare fair fairly. 

4. poor coarse royal royalties early earlier. 

5. (Both R's)coarser fairer farmer rumor poorer refer reverse re- 
inforce retailer. 

6. (Test) poor pure, poorly purely, poorer purer, early rely. 

EXPLANATION. 

Curved R must begin level. 

Use thick M for MB in resemble. 

Do not make L-R lower than other strokes. 

F and curved R, in the same syllable, make a quicker form than F 
and straight R. 

Royalty on a patent, means money paid by a manufacturer to the 
owner of a patent, as a permit to manufacture and sell the article covered 
by the patent. A fixed amount is usually paid for each piece manufac- 
tured. 

Memorize each Rule, and recite. 

LESSON 25. (W. X. Y)

4. excuse exterior exceed expire experience tax wax. 

5. mix mixture fix fixture index box. 

Consonant Y. 

6. Yale yes yell yellow year yoke young youth New Year. 

EXPLANATION. 
W and Y are not vowels at the beginning of words and syllables; 
they are consonants, and must therefore be strokes. 
W and Y must begin level. 

Put weigh in 1st position. It has the sound of A. 
L is silent in walk. 

Wy in Wyoming, and in why, must be written like Wi in wise. 
X is KS. Exceed has only one S sound (ek-seed). 
T has the sound of CH in mixture and fixture. 
EW, in New Year, is considered a sound of U, as in few, chew, crew,

LESSON 30. (LARGE CIRCLE) 

1. taxes Texas access excess mixes fixes indexes boxes. 

2. cases excuses exposes disposes poses possess. 

3. reduces notice's raises rises resources endorses advises. 

4. licenses thicknesses invoices refuses emphasize exercise. 
6. leases losses masses misses dismisses forces reverses.

6. excess excesses possess possesses emphasize emphasizes exercise 
exercises. 

Circle Between Strokes. 

7. insist necessity necessary unnecessary unsuccessful excessive de- 
cisive Mississippi. 

Circle Outside of Corner. 

8. choicest possessor accessory accessories exercised resist exist pos- 
sessed. 

EXPLANATION. 

A large circle means two small circles that have a vowel between 
them. It is as wide as half the length of a stroke, and is placed by the 
same Rules as the Small Circle. 

In line 6, make the small circle last, and half on each side of the 
stroke. 

Line 7, in unnecessary, the prefix UN must be expressed before the 
word necessary; although there is no vowel between NN, they must be 
written as two strokes. 

In insist, resist, exist, exercised, excessive, etc., do not make a com- 
plete circle, but bring the last stroke down through the middle of the 
stroke before it. 

Keep the small circles small. A large circle is about 3 times the 
width of a small circle — not only twice the width. 

LESSON 31. (THE BEGINNING-CIRCLE) 

(RULE) Begin the circle in the SAME direction as the stroke. 

1. scare scatter scale skill scheme sketch. 

2. secure security secrecy sickness signify signature. 

3. succeed success successes successful successive successively. 

4. successor successors school schools scholars score. 

EXPLANATION. 

The Beginning-Circle, and the Ending-Circle, must be perfectly 
round, or else they will be confused with loops and hooks later on, and it 
will be impossible to transcribe your shorthand correctly. The cross in 
the Diagram shows where the circle MUST begin, and the arrow shows 
the direction in which your pencil must move. 

(CIRCLE-SIDE) ' The upper side of k, g; the right side of p, b, t, d, 
eh, j; and the left side of r; is called the Circle-Side of straight strokes. 

This lesson has been made short, so that you can take more time to 
do it accurately. The beginning circle is more difficult than the others. 
You must learn to START it correctly. After drawing the circle, be sure 
to MAKE A STOP he fore you make the stroke, and then draw the stroke 
quickly. This will prevent bending the stroke.

2. speak speck specially specify specific spell spill spice spices. 

3. spicy spite cypress supper superior superiors superiority. 

4. supply supplies suppose supposes suspicious suburb subway spoke. 

5. stay sat Saturday sad sadly said seed seeds set settle. 

6. cedar city citizen system sight side sides suit suits suited. 

EXPLANATION. 

Draw the diagrams, with each lesson, 7 times. 

The first stroke of a word must continue to have the position, no mat- 
ter whether it is a word with a Beginning-Circle or without one. Watch 
the 3rd-position words particularly. Lines 5 and 6, the vowel on the left 
side of the stroke must be spelled after the Circle, but BEFORE the 
Stroke. 

Beginning-Circles and Ending-Circles must be made perfectly round, 
but circles between strokes can not always be perfect. A good circle 
must look as if it could roll along the stroke. 

To make the Beginning-Circle correctly, proceed as follows: 

1st: Begin where the stroke would begin. 

2nd: Make the first motion of the circle EXACTLY in the direction 
of the stroke on which it is to be placed. 

3rd: Complete the circle, and then make a stop before adding a 
straight stroke, until you have had good practice in such words (or else 
the stroke will be bent, and be mistaken for a curved stroke), but do 
NOT LIFT the pencil. 

4th: Draw the added straight stroke with a quick motion. 

5th: Finish the word. 

CONSONANTS.

2. surface surfaces survive surpass surpasses. (Medium-Slant R) 
search searches. 

3. (Low-Slant R) serious seriously sorry source sources. (CH and 
J) satchel sage siege such. 

EXPLANATION. 
Watch the third-position words. They must not have the whole 
stroke below the line. The circle is not a stroke. See the words such, and 
sorry. 

CONSONANTS. 
satchel (s-ch-1), sage(s-j), siege (s-j).

LESSON 36. (ENDING-LOOPS) 

(RULE) When the present tense of a verb ends with a circle, the 
past tense ends with a loop. 

(RULE) Place loop on the upper side of k, g; right side of p, b, t, 
d, ch, j; left side of r; and inside of curves. 

1. (Verbs ending with CE) reduce induce notice spice space face 
deface surface invoice force enforce experience. 

2. (Past tense of same) reduced induced noticed spiced spaced faced 
defaced surfaced invoiced forced enforced experienced. 

3. (SE) excuse suppose dispose endorse refuse advise release reverse; 
(SS) discuss pass surpass emboss miss dismiss. 

4. excused supposed disposed endorsed refused advised released re- 
versed; discussed passed surpassed embossed missed dismissed. 

5. (X) tax wax relax mix fix index box. 

6. taxed waxed relaxed mixed fixed indexed boxed. 

EXPLANATION. 
A very narrow loop, half as long as a stroke, is here used for SD, 
because no vowel is sounded between S and D. 



LESSON 37. (THE SAME LOOP for ST) 

1. cast cost costs past post posts best taste tastes test tests dust rest 
rust just suggest. 

2. most must fast vast vest last least list lists lost waste waist 
waists west. 

3. forecast typist artist artists unjust digest modest invest almost 
chemist manifest. 

4. biggest weakest thickest deepest cheapest narrowest dearest 
purest. 

5. lightest latest fastest tightest widest wildest coldest softest finest 
thinnest poorest fairest. 

6. busiest easiest noisiest safest earliest youngest smallest simplest 
coolest artistic justify testify distinguish. 

7. (TEST) rust rusty, dust dusty, must musty, simplest simplicity, 
vest visit, rest receipt. 

EXPLANATION. 

The same loop as in the last lesson, is also used for ST. 

It may have a circle added (half on each side of the stroke), as in 
costs, posts, etc. Write suggest, s-j-st; fastest, fas-test. 

Line 6, the last four words show how a stroke may be added after 
the loop, but the loop must never cross through a stroke to join another 
stroke. 

Line 7 shows the advantage of using the loop with short words, and 
using the circle and stroke T for distinguishing other words. 

The loop is not used when a word ends with a vowel sound after ST, 
as in rusty. 

The loop is not used when there is a vowel between S and T as in 
visit. 

LONGHAND SPELLING.

1. stake stack stagger stick stickers sticks stocklist stocks. 

2. steps steep stops stoppers stoppage stoop stub stubs. 

3. steady steadier steadily steadiness stud study studies stage

5. stamp stamps stem steam steamer steamship steampipe stimulus 
stumble. 

6. stain stains staunch stenography stenographer sting stink stingy. 

7. stale stalls steel still style stylish stuff stove stevedores staff 
staves. 

EXPLANATION. 

ST, at the beginning of words, is also represented by the loop. To 
draw the Beginning-Loop correctly, you must start where the middle of 
the first stroke would be, and then go backwards. The shape of the loop 
is the same as in the last lesson. 

After careful practice, the Beginning-Loop can be drawn as easily 
as the Ending-Loop. Both are very important help in shorthand. 

LESSON 39. (Words with T or D after other strokes) 

1. (After Ik, fk, vk,) select locate effect affect factory victim vacate. 

2. (After long vowel) taught caught gate fade paid laid mislaid neat 
beat feed deed. 

3. lead mislead need speed kite spite bite tight tighter died dyed tide

4. guide signed designed owned coat goat boat food load showed. 

5. (Showing syllable) senate socket suited solid period interior 
notice notices. 

6. (Ending- vowel) Canada data Saturday Sunday Nevada India Cin- 
cinnati Toledo shadow into. 

7. body pity remedy sandy lady salty shady security moldy duty 
purity beauty. 

EXPLANATION. 

This lesson is to be a guide, when taking up half-strokes, to show 
what classes of words are NOT made with half-strokes. (Lessons 42 to 
53). 

In the lessons on half-lengths, every half-stroke means a T or D 
added. That is, every half-stroke means two consonants, of which the 
Stroke is the first consonant, and T or D understood is the second con- 
sonant. Line 6, the vowel-mark on the right side of D in INDIA is called 
the Double- Vowel, and may stand for any two vowels. 

A stroke MUST be used for T or D as follows: 

1st: When T or D follows two strokes that have no corner. 

2nd : In words of one syllable, when T or D follow a long vowel sound. 

3rd: When T or D help to show a separate syllable. 

4th: When a word ENDS with a vowel after T or D. 
LONGHAND SPELLING.

LESSON 40. (ING) 

(RULE) A dot at the end of a stroke means ING. 
ADD "ING" to the following Verbs: 

1. (Not accented on last syllable) visit solicit register offer suffer 
bother reason lessen loosen ruin. 

2. (Ending with 2 consonants) tack tax mix box guess cast disturb 
invest stamp jump. 

3. exist catch watch suggest sketch rush distinguish rest sing swing. 

4. (Drop silent E when adding ING) case take make file lose face de- 
face receive save refuse. 

5. space base dispose expose suppose resume time fade write reduce. 

6. force notice sue pursue ensue raise store secure exercise endorse. 

EXPLANATION. 
The end of the stroke must point exactly to the ING dot, and the dot 
must be close to the stroke. 

The end of N points slanting upward. See end of lines 1 and 3. 
The end of M points slanting downward. See end of line 2. 
Drop silent E in lines 4 to 6, when adding ING to the longhand. 

LONGHAND SPELLING. (Exceptions) 
die dying, dye dyeing, untie untying, route routeing, singe singeing. 
(10) 

LESSON 41. (ING continued) 

1. (last consonant Doubled in Longhand) sag tag beg bag dig lag 
rig tug. 

2. cap snap tap wrap slap tip dip chip ship rip. 

3. slip step stop rob rub swim jam set sit rot. 

4. scar jar stir in stun; (Accent on last syllable) excel refer defer 
infer. 

ADD "INGS". 

5. cast in save write tide sweep bear fail offer suffer. 

Do not add "ING." (USE STROKE NG) 

6. ring sing sting wing Wyoming. 

EXPLANATION. 

In the longhand of lines 1 to 4, double the last consonant to add ING. 

This page makes an excellent longhand spelling exercise to learn 
when the last consonant should be doubled to add a syllable. 

Line 5, a circle used in place of the ING dot, means INGS. 

Line 6 shows words with the NG stroke, because the dot should be 
used only to add ING to the verb. 

(LONGHAND RULE) Words of one syllable, and words accented 
on the last syllable, ending in a single consonant that is preceded by a 
single short-sounded vowel, DOUBLE the ending consonant when adding 
a syllable beginning with a vowel; as in sit sitting, tip tipping, stop 
stoppage, rub rubber, ship shipped, etc.

LESSON 42. (HALF-STROKES: Short Vowel before T) 

(RULE) Half -Strokes add T or D. 

1. (A) patronize patronized patronage mat matting mats systematic 
unsystematic what somewhat. 

2. (E) pocket pockets bucket buckets basket baskets ticket tickets 
jacket jackets get getting bet better. 

3. secret secrets secretly debt debts debtor rivet rivets let yet wet 
met net. 

4. (I) circuit circuits biscuit biscuits bituminous capital capitalized 
capitalist legitimate legitimately submit remit. 

5. fit unfit fittings fitness lit little wit witness witnessed witnesses. 

6. (O) got bottom bottles potatoes dots not knot fought thought 
thoughtless lot lots. 

7. (U) foot footing footings put but butter cut cutting nut chestnut 
walnut shut shutting. 

EXPLANATION. 

A half-stroke means more than a full-length stroke. Half-strokes 
add T or D to the END of the stroke. For instance: half-K means k-t 
or k-d, half-M means m-t or m-d, etc. 

A circle at the end of a half-stroke must be read AFTER the added 
T or D, so that the last two sounds are TS or DS (not ST or SD, for 
which the loop must be used as in lessons 36 to 38). 

Never make the half -stroke more than a half-length, but rather just 
a little less than half. You will very likely make the full-length strokes 
too short now, but you must overcome this, and keep them full length, so 
that there is a good difference between the half-strokes and the full- 
strokes. 

When a half-stroke ends a word, no vowel can be read after the 
added T or D. 

Line 3, "yet" must be written backward; debt is d-t. 

In 1st position, the middle of the half-stroke must be midway be- 
tween the lines. 

In 3rd position, the half-stroke does NOT cross the line. 

The shape of the curved half-stroke must be the same as the full 
stroke, only smaller. The test lines remain the same. 

LESSON 43. (HALF-STROKES: Long Vowel before T) 

1. (A) indicate indicating instigate reciprocate reciprocating dictate 
state stating states facilitate facilitating. 

2. date dating dates up-to-date exaggerate separate separating sep- 
arately decorate desperate desperately co-operate. 

3. designate nominate dominate donate late lately regulate stimulate 
speculate wait waiting weight weights. 

4. (E) repeat meet meeting meetings feet sweet; (I) might night 
light lightly slight slightly polite politely delight invite. 

5. (O)note notes notify notifying notebook devote; (U) dispute dis- 
putes absolute absolutely mutilate mutilating; (OU) doubt doubts doubt- 
less stout. • 

(Line 3, put "weight" in 1st position, like neighbor.)

LESSON 48. (PRESENT & PAST: REGULAR VERBS) 

(RULE) If the present tense ends with a half-stroke, the past tense 
uses a full stroke and half T or D. 

1. except excepted accept accepted repeat repeated dispute disputed 
deduct deducted reject rejected. 

2. expect expected inspect inspected suspect suspected indicate in- 
dicated instigate instigated. 

3. decorate decorated exaggerate exaggerated co-operate co-oper-

allowed to be a length and a half without a corner between, if they are 
in the same direction. 

LESSON 50. (Five Ways of making Past Tenses) 

(RULE) 

1st; If the present tense ends with a CIRCLE, the past tense uses 
a loop. 

2nd; If the present tense ends with a LOOP, the past tense uses a 
circle and half-T. 

3rd: If the present tense ends with a FULL-STROKE, the past tense 
uses a half-stroke. 

4th; If the present tense ends with a HALF-STROKE, the past 
tense uses a full-stroke and half T or D. 

5th; If the present tense ends with a LARGE CIRCLE, and in cer- 
tain special words, the past tense adds a full stroke.

(Many of the words of this lesson will be used in the Business Letters 
that will follow). 

LESSON 54. (EXPLANATION to Wordsigns and Abbreviations) 

Line 1, Wordsigns are special marks for frequently-used words, 
especially prepositions and pronouns. The dashes are only one-fourth 
as long as a stroke. They do NOT mean consonants. The first 4 word- 
signs must always be used in the same direction and position as given, 
even when joined as in the first 2 words of line 5. 

A and The, are dots, but to join THE with other words, a quarter 
length CH is used and called a "tick", as in lesson 55, line 4. An and 
And are alike. We and With are alike, but must sometimes be used 
slanting, when joined. YOU is the inverted Capital U, and must never 
be spread out to look like half-M. 

Line 2, Aft is the abbreviation for After. 

Line 3, Z is the last sound of Was. Agt.(j-t) is for agent. 
Ult. (ultimo) means "last month". Ord. is for Order. 

Line 4, W is the first sound of ONE(wun). When the word ONE 
occurs in shorthand, the figure 1 is not used because it looks like a short- 
hand stroke. For other numbers the figures are used, except for ten, 
and hundred, and thousand. Rega'd for Regard, omits one R. Length 
and Long, omit L. "Do" is for dollar and dollars, when used with figures. 
The loop (ST), standing alone, is used for "1st", omitting the figure ONE. 
When figures are written below the line, they will read like the denomina- 
tors of fractions that have ONE for numerator: 3rd, 8th, 19th, etc.

LESSON 54, continued. 

WORDS. 

1. (Wordsigns) of off, to too, as is us, a the, an and, we with, you I, 
there their. 

2. (Abbreviations) each which much, thank think thousand, can give 
company (Co) come, have very ever every over for, per, after fact. 

3. them was, agent agents, large largest, immediately will 
ultimo (ult.), order orders, shall wish wishes wished, your yours.

5. today tomorrow tonight, therein thereon therefore, overlook over- 
looked overtime, everybody forever never, favor favorably favored verify, 
withdraw withdrew withstood without within. 

EXPLANATION, continued from page 52. 
Line 5, the last 8 wordsigns of line 1 can be joined to other words 
in any position, and then the first stroke must have position, and not the 
wordsign. "With" must slant downward in "within". Memorize lines 
1 and 2. 

LESSON 55. (BUSINESS LETTERS No. 1 and 2) 

1. (Phrases) we thank, we think, we thank you, we think you will, 
we hope, we beg, we beg to, we have, we shall, we wish, we can, we will. 

2. we are, we are sending, we received, we herewith, we wrote you, 
for you, if you, what you, that you, suit you; thanking you, you are, you 
can, you will, you must, to you. 

3. send us, wrote us, let us, let us know, let us know the, advise us, 
as soon as, as early as, at this time, must be, very sorry, 

4. dear sir, in the, on the, for the, if the, have the, we have the, that 
the, at an, in regard, will be, to your, yours truly, of the. 

(LETTER 1) Dear Sir: We will advise you tomorrow, if goods are 
ready for you. If not, we will see that they are shipped to you at an 
early date. (28 words) 

(LETTER 2) Dear Sir: Your order for wire just received. This 
will be sent to you by our factory, and they will advise you at time of 
shipping. (26 words) 

EXPLANATION. 

Phrases mean 2 or more words joined, to save time and because they 
are frequently used together. Line 2, no corner is made in joining WE 
and straight R. "You" takes the place of ING-dot in "thanking you" 
and is not joined. Line 4, "the" can never be used at the beginning of 
a phrase, only at the end, for reasons that appear later. The first stroke 
has position, in each phrase in this line, except "to your". . "Of" sounds 
"ov", and V is made half-length to add the word "the". Do not join 
other words to make additional phrases, but when the words, of the 
phrases that have been given, occur in sentences, you must use them 
joined. 

In sentences, the comma is generally omitted in the shorthand, but 
spaces can be left instead of the most important commas.

LESSON 56. (H) 

1. hay he who whoever whosoever hue hues hack hickory hook hooks 
husk husks housekeeping. 

2. happy happier happiest happiness heaping heaped hoping hoped 
hopeless hopelessness. 

3. hoops whooping hospital hospitality unhappy habit habits habitual 
inhabit inhabited uninhabited. 

4. hat hats hate hated haste hasty heat heated heater history his- 
toric hesitate hesitating hesitated. 

5. hot hotter hottest hotel hotels hostile hostility hoist hoisted hatch 
katchet hatched hitch hitched. 

6. head heads heading headings headway headed hide hiding housed 
hcod huddle huddled huge. • 

EXPLANATION. 

The same tick that is used, at the end of strokes, for THE in phrases, 
is here used at the Beginning of strokes, for H, but the stroke must have 
the position, and not the H, when joined. It must always be so joined 
that it will make a corner. 

On K, G, and R, it must form a sharp point. On CH and J, it must 
lean more, or else it would not make a corner. 

Line 1, in HUE, it is best to attach the vowel sound U. 
PRONUNCIATION. 

who(hoo), whoop(hoop). 

LESSON 57. (H) 

1. heart hearty heartily hard hardly hardship hardwood harder 
hardest. 

2. harness harnessed harbor harvest harvested harsh Harry Harrison 
hair. 

3. her here herewith hereby hereon hereafter heretofore hear hearing 
hearings heard. 

4. horse horses horsepower horrible horror horrified horrid hor- 
izontal hurry hurt hurting. 

5. adhere adhered adhering rehearse rehearsing rehearsal rehearing 
inherit inherited. 

EXPLANATION. 

H must make a VERY sharp point when joined to straight R, and it 
must join into a point with the R. 

Line 1, Heart has the sound of A as in far. Heartily has 3 strokes 
to show 3 syllables, but Hardly has only 2 syllables. 

Line 2, the dash on "Harry" is a vowel mark for Y. 

DEFINITIONS, 
effect (noun), result; affect (verb), to alter. 
physical,pertaining to nature; mature,full grown. 
embossing,pressed-up parts of paper or cards; finally,at the end.

LESSON 58. (H) 

1. ham hammer hammock hemlock hemstitch hemstitched hemp him. 

2. home homemade homestead humming humble humblest humbug. 

3. hump humane humidity humid humor humorous whom. 

4. hail haul hauled heel hill hills health healthy healthier healthiest. 

5. inhale unhealthy help helped helpers helpless overhaul hole holes 
hollow holiday. 

6. whole wholesale hold held holdings withhold withheld household 
foothold uphold upheld uphill. 

EXPLANATION. 

Line 3, the form for Humane must not be used for Human, for which 
the N hook will be given later. 

Lines 4,5,6, the H is usually a little longer on L. It must be in 
the exact direction of CH, and part of it must be joined with L to pre- 
serve the very sharp point. It is wrong to draw it in the direction of P 
or T, and also wrong to bend it on L. 

Remember that the first stroke has position, and that H is not a 
stroke, but only a tick. 

Line 5, Hollow must have 2 L's to distinguish it from several other 
words. 

Line 6, Household (h-s-h-1-d) has a circle on the left because it 
would not be distinct enough in this word on the right side of H. 

LESSON 59. (H) 

1. hazy haziness hazel hazardous hiss hissing hustle hustling. 

2. hose hosiery hash hush; (Between two N's) unhandy enhance 
enhanced. 

3. harm harmless harmlessly harmed harmonize harmonized Hawaii 
white. 

UPWARD H. 
(RULE) Write H upward on N, NG, F, V, and TH. 

4. handy handier handiest hang hanging Henry hence hint hinted. 

5. hinge hinges hung hungry hungriest honey hunt hunted. 

6. half halves halftime halfway half-hearted Havana havoc heavy 
heavier heaviest. 

7. hover hovering behalf behave behaved upheaved upheaval ad- 
hesive hither hitherto. 

EXPLANATION. 

Line 3, White must have h-w-t to distinguish it from Wet. 

(UPWARD H) Memorize the Rule. H is written upward on thin 
and thick N, also on F and V, because it is easier, and it makes a better 
corner on these strokes. 

Line 6, L is silent in Half and Halves. 

DEFINITIONS, 
enhance, to make more valuable; hemlock,a kind of tree. 
inferior,lower in place or in quality; humidity,moisture in the air. 
capacityythe quantity something can hold; humane,kind. 
hemp, a plant from which strong twine and a coarse cloth are made. (7)

LESSON 60. (H omitted) 

H omitted at the Beginning. 

1. have had has his whose house housing houses; (Vowel OW) :how 
Howard howl howling however howsoever. 

2. high highest height heights highway highways highschool high- 
sounding Lehigh highly higher hire hiring hired highroads. 

3. wheel wheels while whistle whip whisper whispered why what. 

4. hand offhand hands handmade handsome handicapped handle

H omitted Between strokes. 

5. haphazard horsehair horsehide hogshead neighborhood exhaust 
exhausted mishap longhand. 

H silent. 

6. honest dishonest honestly dishonestly honesty dishonesty heirs 
hour hourly hours. 

EXPLANATION. 

Line 1, Has, His, Whose, are written like as, is, us, but would not 
fit in the same place in a sentence. The vowel-mark, for I,, is inverted 
to mean OW as in How, and H is omitted. 

(JOINED VOWELS) Line 2 shows the Vowel-mark for I, joined to 
strokes. In the last 6 words, the last half of the vowel is lost in the 
attached stroke. Joined vowels must ALWAYS be written — they can 
never be omitted. 

Line 4, Hundred is abbreviated "hund", and then the H is omitted. 

Line 5, H is omitted Between strokes in these words. 

Line 6, H is silent in the words of this line. 

LESSON 61. (Letters 3, 4, 5) 

1. (WORDS) as is us these this they them was will yours your of to. 

2. an and we with herewith within you that could not hundred order. 

3. (PHRASES) thanking you, we are sending you, we herewith,

sorry, must be, in the, of the. 

(LETTER 3) Dear Sir: Our factory wrote us that they will ship 
your goods on Saturday of next week, and we hope this will meet your 
needs. (25) 

(LETTER 4) Dear Sir: We are very sorry that your order was 
delayed, as we could not supply what you desired. We herewith mail 
you some samples. (25) 

(LETTER 5) Dear Sir: Referring to copy of order we are sending 
you herewith, we beg to advise that these repairs must be made within 
5 days. (25) 

EXPLANATION. 

Lines 1 and 2, keep in mind that Of, To, An, And, are quarter length, 
but Could, Not, Hundred, Order, are half-length. Always keep Of and 
To in the same direction. 

Line 3, You takes the place of ING dot in "we are senaing you" the 
same as in "thanking you". In "we could", We has the same direction 
as in "we can". 

Letters 3, 4, 5, contain 25 words each.

LESSON 62. (Upward SH & Backward L) 

1. (Upward SH) fish efficient efficiency sufficient sufficiently insuf- 
ficient deficient deficiency. 

2. lavish vicious fictitious judicious judiciously demolished polished. 

3. (Upward L) nicely insulate insulated unsold facility refusal vessel. 

4. (BACKWARD L) annual manual linoleum lineal renewal centen- 
nial semi-annual denial. 

5. handle St.Louis endless decently recently horizontal innocently 
incessantly soundly. 

6. certainly only unless unlike unlocked unlucky unlooked-for un- 
limited angle English. 

7. maliciously cautiously stylishly rashly shallow foolishly likely 
loyalty Oklahoma spoil. 

EXPLANATION. 

Line 1, after F, write SH upward, forming a half -circle, because it 
makes a quicker and easier form than downward SH. 

Line 2, although the present tense of demolish and polish is written 
with downward SH, the past tense must be written with upward SH, or 
else it will look like a large hook that is used later on for TION. 

Line 3 gives Upward L, after NS. 

Lines 4, 5, 6, give Backward L after N. 

Line 7 gives Backward L after SH and a few special words. Spoil 
must be made with backward L, to distinguish from Supply. 

LESSON 63. (LETTERS 6, 7, 8.) 

1. (WORDS) today tomorrow for them 8th inst. I you will wish 
order. 

2. room remit last steel say see so these this that suit advise admit.

steel that you wish shipped tomorrow. We thank you for same, and beg 
to say that the steel is ready for you. (31) 

(LETTER 8) Dear Sir: We wrote you on the 8th inst. in regaid 
to your last order. At this time we can advise you that our factory will 
ship your goods on the 19th, and we hope that this will suit you. (40) 

EXPLANATION. 

Inst, is the abbreviation for "instant" (not "instance"). 
No key is given for the Letters, because you should be able to make 
them up after practicing the words and phrases in lines 1 to 4.

LESSON 64. (DOUBLE-LENGTHS) 

(RULE) Double-lengths add t-r, d-r, or th-r, to the end of the 
stroke. 

1. another anthracite enter entered entirely. 

2. center central interrupt interrupted interest. 

3. interesting interests interested interlocking interlocked. 

4. interfere interfered interpose interposed intercede. 

5. interceded intercept intersect intersected. 

6. intermittent introduce introduces introduced neither. 

7. cylinder eccentric uninterrupted hinder hunter. 

EXPLANATION. 

To add a syllable like t-r, d-r, or th-r, we make a stroke double 
length. 

Line 2, the loop in Interest is half of one length only, and not half 
of the double length. 

A circle can be added after tr, dr, thr. But if a circle is needed be- 
fore the tr, dr, thr, the double-length can not be used, only single length 
strokes. 

LESSON 65. (LETTERS 9, 10.) 

1. (WORDS) an and a the of to because better still holding notify 
that. 

2. such advices shipping method you send goods early without delay 
for fear. 

3. bells wrong should desire small large exact size wire needed know. 

4. this service indoor not out door use was thank think answer. 

5. (PHRASES) we must, notify you, we are, in regard, we wish, as 
soon as, very sorry, we have. 

6. advise us, let us know the, we will, we hope, if you, thanking you, 
sending you, to you. 

(LETTER 9) Dear Sir: We wish to notify you that we are still 
holding up your order, because we must have better advices in regard 
to method of shipping. As soon as we have such advices, we will send 
goods without delay. (40) 

(LETTER 10) Dear Sir: We are very sorry that we must send 
your last order back to you, for fear of sending you the wrong goods. 
You should advise us if you desire small or large bells, and let us know 
the exact size of wire needed. We hope you know that our bells for 
this service are for indoor, and not for out of door use. Thanking you 
for an early answer, we are Yours truly, (75) 

EXPLANATION. 

The thick S stroke is always written for "use", whether the word is 
used as a noun or a verb, although the noun is not buzzing.

5. matter material materializing materialized armature.

EXPLANATION. 
Line 6, in slanting and vertical double-lengths, the first half of the 
height of the double-length has position, and not the whole double- 
length. 

LESSON 67. (LETTERS 11, 12, 13.) 

1. (WORDS) remittance several have had anything anxious that 
at least much as is us of to a the. 

2. an and we with you within soon some receive received would

(LETTER 11) Dear Sir: We wrote you on the 30th ult., and 
hoped that you would send us a check soon. Let us know at once. We 
are very anxious for a remittance within a few days, and hope to re- 
ceive your answer by the 10th inst. (45) 

(LETTER 12) Dear Sir: We wish that you would remit to us at 
least one hundred dollars by Saturday of next week. We thank you for 
your business in the past, and hope that you will send us a good order 
with the remittance. We shall thank you very much for both. (50) 

(LETTER 13) Dear Sir: We notice that you have not paid us 
anything on your orders. We wrote you several times, but received no 
answer within the last three months. We think that you have had as 
much time as you can expect, and we beg that you send us some money. 

(50) 

EXPLANATION. 

Line 1, Remittance has "remits" for quick form. Use "sev" for 
Several, and NG for Thing in Anything. 

Line 3, ult. (ultimo) means "last month." 

Line 6, AN, when joined, is also used for the word A, as in "a few 
days."

LESSON 68. (DOUBLE-LENGTHS, continued) 

1. inspector pictorial executor electrotype electricity. 

2. doctor together altogether spectator separator disorder. 

3. temper temperature timber cumbersome anchor. 

4. anchorage finger banker linger younger hunger.

7. legislator legislature letterhead letterheads stockholder number

ufacturer manufacturers refrigerator. 

EXPLANATION. 

Double-length curves can be used more than double-length straight 
strokes, because a double-length curve does not look like two joined single 
lengths of the same curve, but a double-length straight stroke looks like 
two joined single lengths, and therefore might be mistaken for two single 
lengths. 

Double-length thick M and thick N, generally add only R.

LESSON 70. (R HOOKS, No. 1) 

(RULE) Place R hook at the beginning of the Stroke, on the lower 
side of k, g; on the left side of p, b, t, d, ch, y, on the right side of r, and 
on the inside of curves. 

1. crate crating crates crated crape craze crazy crash. 

2. crab cramp cramped crack crank crawl. 

3. creep cream crease creased create creator creature. 

EXPLANATION. 

There are many words beginning with two consonants that have no 
vowel between them, such as: crate, grate, great, crape, grape, drape, 
cry, dry, creep, grow, grip, price, break, free, freight, etc. If a stroke 
would be made for each of these two consonants, only the second stroke 
could indicate a vowel in each of these words. In order to make the first 
consonant indicate the vowel, a shorthand combination is made of kr, gr, 
pr, br, etc., by making a hook at the beginning of the first consonant, so 
that the hook and stroke together will stand for the combinations kr, 
gr, pr, br, etc., then the first consonant will be the stroke that indicates 
the vowel, and the hook, although written first, must be read after the 
stroke. R hooks are therefore always placed at the Beginning of strokes, 
and never at the end of strokes. 

On Straight strokes the hook is always on the side opposite to the 
beginning-circles in lessons 31, 32, 33; but on curves the hook is placed 
on the inside of the curve, the same as the circles in lessons 34, 35. 

The R hook must be straight and narrow. If it is bent, it will be 
confused with the circles in fast writing. A few circles will also be used 
later, on the R hook side of straight strokes. Take notice that the hook 
on the R stroke begins Level like the line, to avoid bending the stroke.

ders bordering bordered.

6. (Abbreviations) per perhaps permit permitted person persons per- 
ceive perceived persevere persevered persuade persuaded perform per- 
formed. 

7. purchase purchased purchasing purchases purchaser purpose pur- 
poses purposely correct correctly correctness. 

EXPLANATION. 

Lessons 80 and 81 contain words in which the syllables are best 
shown by making use of the R hook, as long as they do not confuse with 
other words, even though they have a vowel between the Hook and the 
Stroke. 

Line 1, U is silent in Guarantee. 

Line 4, W is silent in Toward and Towards. 

Line 6, U, in Persuade, has the sound of W. Omit R of Form, in 
Perform. 

LESSON 81. (VOWEL between Curved Stroke & Hook) 

1. near nearly nearer nearest honor nor north northeast nurse nour- 
ish, nourished. 

2. mar marks markings marked market mere merely merit merited 
moral.

4. wares where wherewith whereon whereby wherefore whereof 
ward wards warm warmest word wording words worded. 

5. fort fertile fertilizer thirst thirsty Thursday year years yearly 
lord; (Abbreviations) insure insurance insuring insured mortgage mort- 



6. member form formed former formerly inform reform firm firmly. 
EXPLANATION. 

In lesson 78 we have no R hook on N, M, SH, W, Y, because there 
are no words that begin with nr-, mr-, shr-, wr-, yr-, unless they have 
a vowel between the two consonants. 

Line 3, S in Sure(shoor) has sound of SH. Line 4, E, in Where, has 
sound of A in ware. F, in Whereof, has sound of V. 

Line 5, several short vowels have the same sound when used before 
R, as in thirsty and Thursday, but each must keep its own position, the 
same as bird and urge. Always write the vowel in mortgagee. 

DEFINITIONS. 
cor'rugated,pressed into regular wave-like folds. 
mortgagee,the person to whom a mortgage is made, 
formerly, before; formally,according to a required way. (4)

mar corner cornered angular triangular singular. 

6. singularly enlarge enlarged circular circulars color coloring colors 
colorless colored. 

7. ordinary ordinarily decree decrees decrease decreasing decreased 
degree degrees cheaper. 

EXPLANATION. 

Lines 4 to 7, the HOOK BETWEEN strokes must form a point in- 
stead of a turn. 

SH, in the first 6 words of line 1, the second word of line 3, and the 
last three words of line 3, is buzzing, but it is rarely necessary to thicken 
the SH stroke.

1. (SKR) scrap scraps scrape scraper scraped scratch scratches 
scratching scratched. 

2. scrawl scrawled scramble scream scroll scrub screw scrupulous. 

3. scrutinize scrutinized; (SPR) spray spraying sprang sprawl

string strings. 

7. strap straps strapped strip strips stripped stretch stretching

EXPLANATION. 

A circle in the place where the R hook should be, on straight strokes, 
means S and the R hook also. 

Line 6, the large loop must be fully 3-fourths of a single stroke, 
and means STR. It is 3 times as wide as the ST loop. NG in Strange 
does not have the same sound as in String. 

LESSON 85. (Triple Cons. betw. Strokes) 

1. (Hook over Round S) express expressing expresses expressed ex- 
pressly export exports exporting. 

2. exporters exported extra extras extraordinary extraordinarily ex-

7. March remark remarkable Mr. Mrs. overcharge forward there- 
from wherefrom everywhere whichever subscribers subscribe subscribed. 

EXPLANATION. 
Line 3, the long-A vowel mark on Extricate helps to distinguish this 
word from Extract, as both may be the same part of speech.

EXPLANATION. 

(L HOOK) Lesson 70 stated that many words begin with kr, gr, pr, 
br, etc. In the same way there are also a large number of words that 
begin with kl, gl, pi, bl, etc., without a vowel between the two consonants. 
To represent the letter L in these words, we make a large hook instead 
of the small R hook. This large hook must be as wide as a large circle, 
as long as a half-length stroke, and it must have a straight end. 

The L Hook is placed by the same Rule as the R Hook: On the 
lower side of k, g; left side of p, b, t, d, ch, j; right side of r; and inside 
of curves. 

To put the stroke exactly midway in first position, you must begin 
the hook near the line. In second position, the hook is BELOW the line, 
but the stroke must have position close to the line. 

LESSON 87. (L HOOKS) 

1. play players plays place placed plague plainer plainest plat plat- 
form plate plaster plastered plated. 

2. able blades blaze blazing blankets blast blackboard blackguard

ring blurred blush bluster blouse. 

6. flash flashed flatter flattering flat flats flaw flaws flow floor flor-

10. pleases pleasures pledges pledged bleach bleaching bleached 
bless. (8) 

11. blessing plumes pluck plug plugged blustering flag flee fly flying 
flies. (11) — 35 

EXPLANATION. 
In 2nd position of P and B, the hook begins close to the line. On 
half-lengths the hook begins at the line. In 3rd position the hook begins 
below the line.

EXPLANATION. Retrace half of N stroke in the last 3 words of 
Lines 6. 

LESSON 91. (ABBREVIATION : able & ible) 

1. indestructible destructible disagreeable inaccessible accessible 
flexible practicable excusable inexcusable marketable. 

2. inflammable redeemable honorable sensible seasonable unseason- 
able reasonable unreasonable possible peaceable passable. 

3. impossible impassable imperceptible perceptible unavailable justifi- 
able unavoidable inevitable invisible visible serviceable favorable advis- 
able. 

4. forcible reversible noticeable unsuitable suitable inexhaustible 
rep'utable creditable credible incredible. 

5. unintelligible vegetable legible imperishable perishable distinguish- 
able procurable terrible desirable undesirable. 

6. inseparable answerable unanswerable variable innumerable 'incur- 
able curable valuable sociable unsociable. 

EXPLANATION. 

The abbreviation for ABLE and IBLE can be used only as a suffix to 
another word (not as the root part of a word), only when it can be 
easily read, and when it does not confuse with other words. It can not 
always be attached to words that have only one stroke. 

The abbreviation is not used in Lesson 89, line 3, for cable, because 
it would look like "cab"; line 4, in scribble; also in some words of lines 
5 and 6 because some of these words would make bad forms, and others 
would look like words of only one syllable. For the same reasons the 
abbreviation is not used in Lesson 90, for disable, durable, unstable, label, 
liable, syllable and horrible. 

DEFINITIONS, 
bev'el, a slanted edge; novel, new. 
credible, can be believed; legible, can be read. 
innumerable, too many to be counted; variable, changing. 
perceptible, can be seen; accessible, can be reached. (8)

ADDITIONAL. 

8. aggregating agitating authorizing itemize itemizing issuing op- 
erating offering offerings admitting; admiring admirer absorbing estab- 
lishing escaping escaped inaccurately inaccuracy. (18) 

EXPLANATION. 

B-V means Beginning- Vowel. The accented B-V takes position. 

Line 7, the B-V takes position because there is NO vowel immediately 
after the first stroke. The last three words are placed by the B-V because 
prefixes like en, in, un, etc., have position, even when not accented. 

LESSON 93. (Words placed by the Second Vowel)

LESSON 94. (N HOOK) 



(RULE) Place N Hook on the Lower side of k g; Left side of p b 
t d ch j; right side of r; and inside of curves. 

. 1. canning canned cane gain gaining gained again wagon bargain 
taken. 

2. American keen skin skinned began begin begun open openings

tained fasten fastened ten tighten tightened.

ran rain pattern apron barren barn warn warning. 

6. warned withdrawn yarn herein earn earnings earned children iron 
return returning returned horn torn turn turned. 

7. worn sworn born borne burn burned foreign run running eastern 
western southern northern. 

EXPLANATION. 
N Hook is only used at the end of strokes, but on the same side as 
the R Hook. Do not change words that you have already learned with 
N Stroke. Like Circle S and Stroke S, the STROKE-N must always be 
used when the word ends with a vowel after N. A silent vowel, as E in 
gone, pine, pane, done, etc., does not count in shorthand. Therefore these 
words must be written with Hook-N. The B-V is accented in open, 
apron, origin, iron. T is silent in postpone. 



LESSON 95. (N HOOK on Curves) 

1. main Maine man manage managing managed salesmen men mean. 

2. meaning mine mined mining examine examined specimen remain

3. remaining women determine determined woman policemen human

lined. 

5. loan loaned uneven oven even evening evenings phone fine finely

PRONUNCIATION, 
women (wim'en), lien(leen), phone (f one), machine (masheen'), ocean 

(o'shen). 

NOTE. 

Do not be too anxious to write business letters in shorthand, before 
you know the whole textbook thoroughly. If you cannot write the words 
in the lessons correctly, how can you expect to write business letters cor- 
rectly ? 

Writing words puts you ahead. Writing business letters does not 
teach you anything, it is only practice, and often such practice only hides 
mistakes or wastes time. It is frequently overdone.

LESSON 98. (Flat S, in the Hook) 

1. prominence mains man's men's means mince mines remains wom-

agreements arguments experiments implements departments. 

5. payments statements treatments instruments indictments endow- 
ments arrangements enlargements regiments engagements judgments at- 
tachments. 

6. disbursements endorsements moments tenements supplements 
measurements assessments movements refreshments. 

EXPLANATION. 

A Flat S is used in the N Hook on Curved Strokes when the word 
ends with the sound of NS. No vowel can be read after such S. 

On Half-Lengths it makes the word end with NDS or NTS, that is, 
the added D or T must always be read BEFORE this S. If D or T is 
wanted after the S, the ST Loop must be used on the Stroke N, as in finest. 

Some of the words, in this lesson, are Nouns in the plural; some are 
abstract nouns in the singular; and some are Verbs in the 3rd person 
singular, etc.; but the possessive case can also be indicated in this way 
for words in the last four lessons, as in men's, women's, children's, etc. 

LESSON 99. (NS CIRCLE) 

(RULE) Place NS Circle on the Lower side of k g, on the Left side 
of p b t d ch j, and on the right side of r. 

1. cans canes Americans kinds seconds skins counts accounts cones 
significance discounts. 

2. gains guns begins wagons bargains points pounds opens postpones 
pens pins pines pans panes pains paints corresponds depends. 

3. bonds bounds bones bounce beans bins stands attains tens tense 
tins tightens tends tons tones towns obtains sustains acceptance inherit- 
ance. 

4. assistance assistants resistance reluctance existence non-existence 
dance dancing dense guidance accidents residence non-residence residents 
incidents precedents presidents precedence. 

5. co-incidence expedients obedience disobedience impudence prudence 
chains chance chancing merchants regions joins adjoins vengeance negli- 
gence intelligence. 

6. rents returns irons earns children's clearance rains patterns aprons 
barns warns warrants parents yarns runs horns burns turns. 

EXPLANATION. 
A circle at the end of Straight Strokes, on the N Hook side, is used 
for NS, and on Half-Lengths for NDS and NTS, because this circle will 
not be confused with anything you have had. But a round S can not be 
used for NS on curves because circles and hooks are not allowed on the 
outside of curves, neither at the beginning, nor at the end of a word. 
Line 2, T is silent in postpone. (Definitions on p. 100)

EXPLANATION. 
In line 6, use a flat S to divide the N hook, except in the last 6 words. 
In line 4, the last seven words begin with the sound of Y as in "your". 
In salesman and policeman, the N hook is omitted in the singular, and put 
on again in the plural.

a stroke, has the sound of TION (shun), which may be spelled tion, sion, 
ssion, shion, cion, as in action, occasion, depression, cushion, suspicion. 
It can not be used in the words mention, dimension, and mansion, because 
the M stroke already has the N hook on the end of it, and we can not 
place two hooks at the end of the same stroke (see Lesson 102, line 1).

EXPLANATION. 
Line 4, for words ending with the two syllables "si-tion", the S is 
made flat, and the TION hook is written backward, and small. For this 
reason it is sometimes called the "sition" hook or the small TION hook. 
The end of this hook must never extend beyond the end of the stroke.

Stroke F or V must be used. Even after Straight strokes, the Stroke 

F or V must be used when the word ends with a Vowel after F or V.

EXPLANATION. 

QU, at the beginning of words and syllables, has the sound of kw; 
but, at the end of a word, the U is silent, and QU has only the sound of 
K, as in "antique". 

Pronounce the word "wick"; then put K before it, and say "kwick". 
The last word gives the sounds of the word "quick", and shows that Qu, 
in this word, has the sound of KW. For this KW we will use a small hook 
at the beginning of K, on the circle-side, not on the R hook side. Lesson 
116 also gives TW and DW. Pronounce requisite (rek"-wi-zit').

EXPLANATION. 
Line 6, never write "one" as a figure, by itself, nor for $1, $100,

given in one amount, even the D stroke should be omitted. The cents 
should be small figures, and in 1st position. Ordinarily, numbers like 
4 cases, 5 days, 30 days, 4%, etc., should be written in 2nd position, while

LESSON 126. (Accented Joined B-V takes position) 

1. ache aching ax acme agony occupy occupied occupying awful. 

2. uppermost acres atom add adding added aid aids aided audit 
audited aught autumn odd oddly. 

3. ail ails alias alleys allies alum alibi alter altering elder elderly. 

4. eldest elbow elevate elevating elevated else eligible Eli elasticity. 

5. heir heirs era err erred irritate irritated irritation irrigate irri- 
gated. 

6. ornate ornament ornamental aisle ill oil oily amateur immature 
immaterial Omaha. 

EXPLANATION. 

B-V will here mean "Beginning-Vowel." Compare with pp. 92 and 93. 

The B-V should be written in shorthand when the word might be con- 
fused with another that has the same outline and is the same "Part of 
Speech," that is, if both are verbs, or both are nouns, etc. 

A joined Dash, one-fourth of a stroke, is used for all vowels, ex- 
cept long U as in uniform. 

Joined Dash- Vowels are vertical on k and g; mostly level before 
p, b, t, d, n, 1, f, v, etc.; and slanting before m, straight r, etc. 

For au as in autumn, the vowel could be made thick. For long i, 
and oi, the vowels must have a v-shape. For ou and ow, as in out and 
power, the v-shape must be inverted, that means it is turned upside 
down. 

LESSON 127. (Unaccented Joined B-V does not take position) 

1. O.K. O.K-ing O.K.-ed accuse accused affiliate affiliating avail 
availed abuse abused abusive abuses obey obeying obeyed.

LESSON 128. (B-V with S and Y) 

(RULE) Either use Strokes S, or a joined vowel with a circle, when 
a word begins with a vowel before S. 

1. (Accented) asset assets acid acids ask asking asked assignee 
assignees essence Eskimo east Easter easterly eastern. 

2. estimate estimating estimates estimated estimable inestimable 
ease easy easier easily Israel Isabella Isaac use used using uses users 
usage.

asbestos especial especially aside eyesight iced estate estates assume 
assumed assumption. 

6. assault assaulted ascend ascended assent assented assigns assigned 
asunder astonish astonished astonishment.

as in the first 3 words of line 3, or the Stroke Y (pronounced "Yoo," in 
3rd position, for words like Utah, Europe, etc.) where there is no S. 

Line 6, and part of 5 are written with circle S because they are 
shorter, more distinct, and can be read easier — the accented stroke has 
position, and not the S.

can be used for any two separately sounded vowels that occur together. 
Line 6, in "about," the last half of the vowel-mark for OU is omitted. 

DEFINITIONS. 

assets,property owned; assignee,one to whom property is assigned, 
asunder, apart; asbestos,fireproof threads from a kind of rock.

LESSON 144. (SEPARATED VOWEL-MARKS) 

(RULE) A separated VoWel-Mark, on the LEFT side of down- 
strokes, on the LEFT side of up-strokes (L and straight R), and on the 
UPPER side of horizontal strokes (K,G,M,N), must be read "before" the 
stroke. 

(RULE) A separated Vowel-Mark, on the RIGHT side of down- 
strokes, on the RIGHT side of up-strokes (L and straight R), and on the 
LOWER side of horizontal strokes (K,G,M,N), must be read "after" the 
stroke 

EXPLANATION. 

Line 1. Because the LEFT end of a line of longhand must be read 
"first", and the RIGHT end of a line must be read "last", so in shorthand, 
a separated vowel placed on the LEFT side of a stroke must be read 
"before" the stroke, and a separated vowel on the RIGHT side of a stroke 
must be read "after" the stroke. 

Because the UPPER part of a page of longhand must be read "first", 
and the LOWER part of a page must be read "last", so in shorthand, a 
separated vowel placed on the UPPER side of a horizontal stroke must 
be read "before" the stroke, and a separated vowel on the LOWER side 
must be read "after" the stroke. 

The separated vowel is mostly need Q d "after" the stroke. There are 
3 vowel places on each side of a stroke. No. 1 is the place for all sounds 
of A; No. 2 for the sounds of E and I; No. 3 for the sounds of O and U. 
Take notice that the numbers count downward on CH, and upward on 
Straight R. 

Line 2 shows the Direction of the Dash- Vowels. A light dash at 
No. 1 means Long A; a light dash at No. 2 means Long E; a light dash 
at No. 3 means Long O. The dash is not used for I and U. A dash vowel 
must always make a square corner with the stroke, but must not touch. 

Line 3 shows the vowel numbers "after" the stroke. 

Line 4 shows the direction of the Dash- Vowels "after" the stroke. 

Line 5 shows a complete Set of the different vowel-marks used. 

Line 6 illustrates all the sounds of line 5, by the words: take,tack, 
talk,tar; deep,tennis,type,tip; toe,top,tube,tub; took,toy,tower,India. 

Pronounce the sounds of line 5 many times, without the stroke on 
which they are placed, and recite. 

Pronounce line 6 many times, first saying one word, and then the 
vowel sound of that word separately; and so on with each word. 

LESSON 145. (The Vowel-Mark AFTER the First Stroke) 

1. pace pays pains bake fair tape Davis chase chains shame ray rake 
lay laced cape cane. 

2. pass pans back tack tap chance sham rack cap walk talk saw jaw

3. beat peel tea team deep thee cheek sheep meal knee reap read

4. pen spell press tennis price bite fight wipe type tie dine thy sigh

6. pole pool boil power bureau bur beauty point pound fuse toe toy

7. tube tub took tour towe~ row rough roof look coil cool noise snow 

no Noah. 

EXPLANATION. 

The dashes change direction according to the stroke, but Long U and 
the V shaped marks are never allowed to lean over, they do not change 
direction. See lines 4 to 7 of lesson 145. 

Remember that there are 4 different marks of A, as in: tape/tap, 
jaw, jar. But only 2 marks are needed for E as in feed,fed; 2 for I as in 
pine,pin; 2 for O as in robe,rob; and 2 for U as in tube,tub. This makes 
a total of 12 marks for single vowels(4 marks for each number). 

Besides these 12 marks we have 3 diphthongs: 00,OI,OU. These 
diphthongs are all placed at No. 3 because they are all combinations of 0. 
The 00 mark is used for O as in tomb and shoe, for 00 as in poor, for 
OU as in tour, etc. The 01 mark is used for 01 and OY. The OU mark 
is used for OU as in pound, and for OW as in power, but not as in rough 
and snow. The Double- Vowel is used for two separately sounded vowels 
as for Aee in payee at No. 1; for I A in India at No. 2; and for OA in 
Noah at No. 3. This means that it can usually be placed to indicate the 
number of the first one of the two vowels. 

A vowel between two strokes may be placed AFTER the first stroke 
as TU-B, or BEFORE the second stroke as T-UB. But when a No. 3 
vowel is between two strokes where it might be mistaken for a No. 1 
mark "after" the second stroke, it can be placed BEFORE the SECOND 
STROKE, as in look and lock. 

LESSON 147. (Other Uses of the Vowel) 

1. (On OTHER strokes) paradise Peru willow displace displease de- 
cay Sedaiia imply employ endow India. 

2. repay repeal repel repicked repacked lock bouquet opera policy. 

3. police borrow folio Julia mortgagee notary Ontario unlike unlucky. 

4. (BEFORE a stroke) oak own uneasy ounce outside outlook out- 
going outer outlet odor oats odds. 

5. eat seat seats sets seeds cedar soap soup ease seize size. 

6. ore sore hour sour eel steel style steam stem. 

EXPLANATION. 
Lines 5 and 6 show that the separated Vowel-mark must belong to a 
stroke, and not to a Circle or Loon, except when placed inside of a larsre 
x>ir«!& Tn these words the vowel-mark is "before" the stroke, and thp 
cirri* or loon at the beginning must be read "before" the vowel ma*

5. assignees assigns signs science cease seize society association 
thanks these thinks this other thorough through from for over. 

6. were where whereas wares warehouse wherefore whereof wherever 
wherefrom whereon wherein wet white short assured. 

EXPLANATION. 

In religious dictation, the words "thee" and "thy" should be written 
in 1st position, and without vowel marks, to distinguish them quickly and 
accurately from "they" and "them." 

Only to a very few words, in this book, have been given two different 
shorthand forms. A longer form may have been given first, and a shorter 
form in a later lesson. When a word with a long form is used very often 
in the line of business in which you may become employed, a shorter form 
can sometimes be arranged and used.

LESSON 150. (Circle and Hooks compared) 

la. (U-R) Circle S is used at the beginning and end of all strokes, 
on the Upper side of k g, Right side of p b t d ch j, left side of r, inside 
of curves, and outside of corners. 

lb. (U-R) F hook is used at the end of STRAIGHT strokes, on the 
Circle side. 

2a. (L-L) R hook is used at the beginning of all strokes, on the 
Lower side of k g, left side of p b t d ch j, right side of r, and inside 
of curves. 

2a. (L-L) N hook is used at the end of all strokes, on the R hook 
side. 

2b. (L-L) NS is round on Straight strokes, and flat on Curves. 

3. (L-L) L hook is used at the beginning of all strokes, on the R 
hook side. 

3. (U-R) TION hook is used at the end of all strokes, on the Circle 
side. 

4a. (U-L) The separated Vowel-mark, BEFORE the stroke, is used 
on the Upper side of k g, on the Left side of down-strokes (p b t d ch j), 
on the left side of up-strokes (r 1), on the upper side of m n, and on the 
left side of other curves. 

4b. (L-R) The separated Vowel-mark, AFTER the stroke, is used 
on the Lower side of k g, on the Right side of down-strokes, on the right 
side of up-strokes, on the lower side of m n, and on the right side of 
other curves. 

EXPLANATION. 

The parenthesis (U-R) in line 1 means "Upper and Right" sides, and 
refers only to the position of the circle or hook on the FIRST eight strokes 
learned, to serve as a key or guide. Circles and hooks on the 9th stroke 
(Straight R) are always placed on the side opposite to that of CH. 

The parenthesis (L-L) in lines "2" and "3" means "Lower and Left" 
sides on the FIRST eight strokes. 

R, N, L, and TION hooks can therefore be used on both Straight and 
Curved Strokes. 

F hook, however, can be used only on Straight Strokes. 

LESSON 151. (Vowel-Marks Reviewed) 

1. (From lesson 3) copy, (lesson 5) beat bite, 6 tea tie, 9 cure pure,
